Natch...Thanks to Shinsano for keeping us abreast of this situation…
Jose Lima became the first mercenary casualty of the young 2008 season as the 36-year-old hurler was released by the Kia Tigers Wednesday afternoon.
Lima’s arrival in Korea was met with great fanfare, but he struggled mightily in his last two starts. The final straw apparently came Tuesday evening against the LG Twins, a game in which he surrendered eight runs on eight hits in just 3 2/3 innings. Kia is currently in last place having won just four of 15 games.
He leaves Korea not having won a single game, as the headline on the Korean Web portal Naver gleefully reads: “Not one win gathered…Lima is Kicked Out!”
Indeed.

Except for the bears driving cars, it's like he never left the Royals.
I read this as "met with great failure". I was right, even though I was wrong.

Have you been to Kauffman lately? They drive those bears all around. They even let one manage a game last year.
I'll bet the Pyongyang People's Heroic Baseball Team could use him.
They've got a big enough stadium...
I saw some a few years ago that had 'em between A+ and AA, closer to the latter. Not sure whether that was accurate or not, or whether things have changed since then.
